Deci ai ajuns la acest Forum Simple Machines (SMF)! Poate te uitai la pagina de index a forumui sau un ecran care îţi spunea ca trebuie să te inregistrazi inainte de a putea citi şi te intrebai ce ai de facut în continuare?
Ei bine, unele forumuri permit vizitatorilor să scrie şi să citeasca mesaje, altele doar să citeasca, altele sunt restricitonate doar la utilizatorii înregistraţi. Noi îţi recomandam să inregistrare la fiecare forum pe care îl folosesti cu regularitate deoarece cele mai multe facilitati devin accesibile doar atunci. Deoarece SMF este un sistem foarte flexibil astfel incat doua forumuri au putine sanse de a fi identice, noi vom incepe prin a descrie patru zone cheie care în mod normal vor fi intotdeauna acolo pentru tine:
- Meniul Principal
- Pagina de Index a forumului
- The Message Index
- The Topic
Meniul Principal
Presupunand ca ai ajuns aici ca vizitator (sau eşti inregistrat insa nu eşti autentificăt), meniul principal ar trebui să aiba în mod normal cinci sau sase butoane (sau link-uri text):
- Acasa, care te duce înapoi la pagina de inceput forumului.
- Ajutor, care te aduce la acest ghid.
- Cautăre, care îţi permite să cauti prin forum dupa orice doresti sau vrei să afli.
- Calendar, care face legatura cu calendarul (daca este activat).
- Intrare, care îţi permite să te autentifici dacă deja te-ai inregistrat.
- Inregistrare, care îţi permite să te înregistrezi (sau uneori să aplici pentru o inregistrare) atunci cand doresti să faci asta.
Odata inregistrat şi autentificăt, meniul principal ar trebui să arate un pic diferit:
- Acasa (ca mai sus).
- Ajutor (ca mai sus).
- Cautăre (ca mai sus).
- Profil, care îţi permite să-ţi modifici profilul setările.
- Calendar (ca mai sus).
- Iesire, care îţi permite să iesi din nou dacă doresti.
Administratorii forumului vor avea deasemenea un buton aditional Admin button.
Pagina de Index a forumului
While the board index (forum home page) is packed with all kinds of information and links, the core of the interface (at least în the SMF default theme) normally looks something like this:
Category Name |
 |
Board Name
Board Description |
Number of topics and posts în this board |
Date, time, subject and author of last post |
New Posts
No New Posts
|
|
- The forum name links back to the top of the board index.
- If the category is collapsable (shown by the little arrow symbol), clicking the category name collapses or expands the category as appropriate.
- The board name links to the message index for that board.
- The board description describes the board's content, and may also include links to child boards and/or specify the board's moderator(s).
- The New Posts and No New Posts icons în the leftmost column show registered members whether there have been any new posts to the board since they last read it.
- The Mark as Read button enables registered members to mark all posts în the entire forum as 'read'.
The Message Index
Like the board index, the message index interface is quite straightforward when reduced to its essential components:
Topic you have posted in
Normal Topic
Hot Topic (More than 15 replies)
Very Hot Topic (More than 25 replies) |
Locked Topic
Sticky Topic
Poll |
|
- Some forums show the navigation tree at the top în a space-saving horizontal mode.
- The page numbers link to further pages of the board, and may be accompanied by Go Up and Go Down buttons linking to the top and bottom of the current page.
- The Mark as Read button enables registered members to mark all posts în this board as 'read'.
- The Notify button enables registered members to subscribe to email notification of replies to topics în this board.
- The New Topic and New Poll buttons are for starting new topics and polls, as described în the posting help.
- The Subject, Started by, Replies, Views and Last post links enable you to sort the columns by these parameters (with Last post also toggling between descending and ascending order as indicated by the little arrow).
- The topic icons în the leftmost column are explained by the key below.
- The post icons în the next column are sometimes used to draw attention to the mood or purpose of the topic.
- The topic subject links to the start of the topic, with extra links for subsequent pages and new buttons to take registered members straight to their first unread post of the topic.
- Where the topic has been started or last replied to by a registered member, their names link to their respective profiles.
- The Jump to menu provides a convenient quick method of navigating the forum.
